An 8-hour and 4-hour rogaine. On bike and on foot.
Gather a team of 2 to 5 explorers; you may go solo in the 4-hour event. We’ll give you four or eight hours to complete a course that no team can possibly finish. Prioritize and plan a good route to maximize your point scoring. Or just plan to have a grand adventure! You’ll be using a custom-made map with accurate elevation contours and trails. Find up to 45 or so checkpoints; a compass can be useful.

Web registration is available.

License: NoCourse Description: Get Lost!! in Jackson DSF is a rogaine. About 45 checkpoints scattered over the eastern portion of the Demonstration State Forest (excluding active timber harvest areas and other areas closed to the public) will be circled on a map and marked on the ground by orange and white orienteering markers. Each location will be equipped with a SPORTident station, which creates a record of your visit on a small electronic card each participant will carry.

Each checkpoint has a point value, which is equal to the checkpoint number rounded down to the tens. For example, Checkpoint 68 would be worth 60 points. The objective is to score as many points as you can within the time limit by visiting checkpoints along your planned route. There are point penalties for returning late. Maps are issued well before the start, so that teams have time to plan their route.
